Looking to buy a 1995 Century 2280 tunnel hull. Boat and motor looks amazing and very good condition the owner says it’s wood free. Compression check was good. Does anyone know anything about these boats good or bad and if they have wood in them.

Just call Century and ask them about a 100% composite construction:
(813)-236-8879

Tried that, since new owners took over they don’t have that info.

I’d say probably not. Just a few high end poling skiffs were doing it then.

But doesn’t make it bad. Just check floor and decks for soft spots and tap around the transom with a plastic handle screw driver. You don’t want to hear thud or dead sound.

Port O’’Conner. Like going out to the jetties And back in oil mans cut, big bayou area.
Just don’t know anything about century boats and I know Dargel are good boats. We have a 5yr so looking for something that is family friendly.

I’d lean Darrel. A shallow runner can go deep but a deep can’t go shallow.
Nothing on that century looks like it wants to run into Pringle

I don’t go back to Pringle I mainly stay in the little deeper areas. Lol
I’m trying to find a decent boat that is good for bays and lakes.
I sent you a PM asking about another boat that someone said you knew about.
